Crystals are widely believed to have soothing, therapeutic and spiritual healing properties; thus they’ve become incredibly popular within today’s wellness culture.
Energy Crystals can be purchased from the REPO shop between rounds to use to recharge items, but can also be found laying exposed on certain levels (Frozen Frenzy and Lava Laughter).
To select an effective crystal, first consider where you need assistance such as increasing energy or mental clarity. Next, choose a stone that speaks to you.
Healing Properties
Many people incorporate crystals into their wellness practices as an aid for increasing energy, soothing anxiety and improving mental clarity. Unfortunately, no scientific evidence supports the purported healing crystal benefits; their effectiveness could simply be placebo effects.
Raw crystals and gemstones have long been prized for their beauty, rarity and purported metaphysical properties. Now more than ever as people delve into energy healing practices like meditation and healing through energy healing practices like Reiki, these stones have become more widely sought-after than ever.
Proponents assert that certain stones, like amethyst and blood-red jasper, provide specific healing properties. Bloodstone is believed to boost energy and encourage emotional resilience while amethyst’s soothing energies promote stress relief and spiritual growth. Some believe crystals’ healing power can be amplified through charging methods such as placing them under a full moon or using crystal charging plates; in addition, regularly cleansing crystals is recommended to remove any built-up negative energy.
Boosting Energy
Crystals can help facilitate energy balance. Ancient systems such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine have long recognized that physical and emotional wellbeing is connected to how your energy flows, with stones thought to clear blockages or absorb negative energies, amplifying what you want more of (calm or focus for example), but ultimately choosing stones depends on their feel in your hands and how well you relate to them over time.
Crystals can be an effective addition to your wellness routine, but don’t use them as a replacement for rest, healthy food or other proven treatments. While no scientific evidence supports their impact, their placebo effect is real and may make a difference.
Meditation
Yogis, shamans and energy healers of various cultures use crystals as tools to promote intuition and meditational states. When you want to deepen your focus and connect more closely to spirituality, select an amethyst crystal as an aid in clearing away negative chatter in your mind so you can fully access intuitive parts of yourself while forming bonds between universe and yourself.
Single terminated quartz points make excellent meditation tools, featuring naturally-formed pointed ends on one or both sides. Holding one with your left, receptive hand helps draw in positive energy while using it with your right, expressive hand sends out intentions.
To activate your crystals, try smudging them with herbs, placing them in direct sunlight, or doing meditation with them. Furthermore, engraving personal mantras or names into them is another powerful way of activating their positive energy and aligning it with your intentions.
Mental Health
Though many consider crystal healing pseudoscience, many find these stones beneficial as emotional support or can be used with meditation to deepen wellbeing. Unfortunately, no scientific evidence shows that crystals emit frequencies or have any healing properties; any effects experienced could simply be due to placebo effect or psychological factors.
Crystals can be an effective addition to a therapy or medication treatment plan, providing additional relaxation. Choose amethyst to promote inner peace or black tourmaline for stress management and anxiety relief, Lepidolite may also help ease feelings of unrest or insecurity.
Crystals should never replace professional medical or mental health treatments, but can serve as an auxiliary aid in your journey towards greater emotional well-being and balance. Experiment with various crystals and meditation techniques until you find what works for you, always consulting your physician or psychologist in regards to any medical concerns that may arise, etc.
